Director, A Seat At The Table

The Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leaders program by the Policy Center of the New South provides an ideal platform for accomplished young professionals with a passion for policy and societal impact. Once a year PCNS gathers a new cohort of rising leaders, entrepreneurs and trailblazers from around the world to focus on new solutions for the world’s most pressing issues.

The ADEL program is unique because not only does it focus on the future, but in alignment with the famed Atlantic Dialogues conference, it enables it. It provides the guidelines for a world stage where Africa rises to its potential and takes a center stage in the global economy and political landscape.

This was one of a few occasions in the last couple of years where I've truly felt inspired. My recent ventures in Africa were inspired by the people I've met and the stories I've heard at the Atlantic Dialogues and the Emerging Leaders program. It is one of a few programs that truly deserves the epithet 'life changing'.

I'm exhilarated by the work of the Policy Center for the New South, OCP and Morocco as trailblazers for a new dawn for the African continent.
